From Socrates to Sartre: The Philosophic Quest

A challenging new look at the great thinkers whose ides have shaped our civilization

From Socrates to Sartre presents a rousing and readable introduction to the lives, and times of the great philosophers. This thought-provoking book takes us from the inception of Western society in Plato’s Athens to today when the commanding power of Marxism has captured one third of the world. T. Z. Lavine, Elton Professor of Philosophy at George Washington University, makes philosophy come alive with astonishing clarity to give us a deeper, more meaningful understanding of ourselves and our times.

Starting with Sartre

A new introduction to Sartre, guiding the student through the key concepts on his work by examining the overall development of his ideas.
Starting with Sartre is a clear, concise, insightful guide to Sartre's existentialist philosophy. Linsenbard's discussion amply demonstrates the contemporary relevance of Sartre's ideas, and shows that they have lost none of their power to challenge, infuriate, and inspire.

Nausea (orig. French La Nausée) is an epistolary novel by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, published in 1938 and written while he was teaching at the lycée of Le Havre. This is Sartre's first novel[1] and one of his best-known.
The novel concerns a dejected historian in a town similar to Le Havre, who becomes convinced that inanimate objects and situations encroach on his ability to define himself, on his intellectual and spiritual freedom, evoking in the protagonist a sense of nausea.
